Otero Junior College's annual Career Exploration will be held on Tuesday, April 9, from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on the OJC campus. Organizers of the Career Exploration are expecting over 750 high school students from southeast Colorado to attend this year's event.

Students will have the opportunity to learn how to enter various careers, what kind of an educational background is required, discover off-shoots of some common careers and receive information about what is required to open their own business.

According to Kim Juul, event coordinator, over 60 career and business professionals throughout the state of Colorado will be attending the event to speak about their areas of expertise.

"We are very excited about this year's event as we have representatives from several new careers that will be attending," said Juul. "Once again, our community professionals as well as those outside our area have banded together to offer our local high school students a wonderful opportunity."

Presenters are urged to bring information with them pertaining to their chosen career field, in addition to job descriptions, audio/video features and brochures.
